To Roger Lutz. To answer your question as to who went out to get the guy from Alpha company,it was me,Steve Petty and Jim Leonard. We both got an Army commendation medal for our efforts. Did you get a medal also? I was in B company ,3rd platoon and was in the firefight at LZ Bille also. I remember being pinned down snipers in trees. That was my first firefight.

To hgreen; I dont remember the heavy rain at camp evans.Igot to Nam 0ct. 8,1968.Camp evans was my first assignment. A guy named Jim Leonard was tall,slender,blond and had a mustache. He got in touch with me in 2005 and now we see each once a year and talk on the phone a few times a year. In nam he knew Willie Brown and Citille. When did you leave the third platoon? Here are some more names.Gary Zearott,Ohmer Gabbard and Joe Daniels. I have never tweeted so I never got your phone number.

To hgreen. we probably knew each other. I knew SGT. castro also. I was in the third platoon and moved from camp evans and helped build LZ BILLY. I was in the firefight that killed our captain.
Hi Steve. I am happy to hear from you. I have a picture of me and SFC Castro at Camp Evans in ’68. I am quite sure we knew each other. SPC Mott was the platoon medic if I am not mistaken. Willie Brown was the M-60 gunner. Kenneth Citelli was a squad leader, so was James Poole. Were you with the platoon during a period of heavy rain when we were stranded for perhaps a week in the foothills around Camp Evans? I don’t remember our first sgt’s name however, I believe he and another trooper brought supplies on a ”mule” to our position in the hills.
Who was the slender rifleman with blond hair and a moustache? There was another member of the platoon who was well know for chasing down one of our adversaries and dispatching him with a .45. This happened prior to my arrival and I can’t remember his name. I also met CPT Meara’s brother LTC John Meara in Montgomery when he attended a career school at Maxwell AFB. He invited me for dinner where I met his lovely wife. Sir, if you read this thanks again for an outstanding dinner.
Steve, my phone number is in a tweet I sent you. If you have the time give me call one of these daysHi, I eas in the 3rd herd from jan thru dec on 68’ I knew willie brown he was my assistant machine gunner at Khe Shan after willie norwood was wonded I took over the gun and james spach was my gunner , he died after i dragge him out of fire,, willie and I recover the m-60 and continuesd ,, james poole was a tall black man in the 3rd herd…sfc villanazwale(spelling) used to call me billyous because of my mustche, after ashau valley i catrried the rto for him. any guys who might remember me please email me
